Where in the world is season 27 of South Park ? The public certainly doesn’t know. If the trades do, they’re not saying. But somehow, the next Paramount+ special is coming anyway, specifically next week. The streamer has announced “The End of Obesity” will take South Park on an Ozempic tale when it premieres May 24 in the United States and Canada, and May 25 in Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It’s somewhat better advance notice than what the previous special “ (Not Suitable For Children) ” received, as while it had “print” ads on websites and its trailer ran on YouTube , it wasn’t officially released and properly uploaded until the day of its December 20 release. The description tells that new weight loss drugs have entered the culture of South Park, to massive impact. When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, Kyle, Stan, Butters and Kenny jump into action on his order. Cartman gazes at himself in the mirror, lam
Hu’s Tom’s Mentor In The 'The Tiger’s Apprentice' Official Trailer
It’s Tom Lee’s time to be a zodiac-infused guardian of humanity in Paramount Animation’s The Tiger’s Apprentice, releasing exclusively on Paramount+ on February 2. The streamer released the film’s official trailer on Tuesday.
It opens with Tom, voiced by Brandon Soo Hoo getting bullied at his high school and in defending himself he accidentally uses his powers for the first time. Such acts as a beacon for Hu, the mythical tiger in human guise voiced by Henry Golding, to approach him to become the next guardian in the wake of his grandmother’s death. Hu and the other animals of the zodiac help train Tom to take on evils like the Loo looking to destroy humanity.
Director Raman Hui has discussed his personal connection, saying “Having lived in San Francisco and being Chinese American, I found the fantasy of mythical Zodiac warriors helping a Chinese kid in San Francisco Chinatown to become the guardian fascinating.” He also boasts the Asian-heavy cast, which in addition to Hoo and Golding, who he said “gave us a great, proud Tiger who can be powerful and stubborn as a teacher, but can also be fun and sympathetic with the apprentice”, features Michelle Yeoh as the villain Loo, Sandra Oh as the dragon Mistral, Bowen Yang is Sidney the Rat, Sherry Cola is Naomi the Monkey, while the other Zodiac animals don’t get their own names. Greta Lee is Rabbit, Jo Koy plays Rooster, Diana Lee Inosanto as Horse, Patrick Gallagher as Dog, Poppy Liu as Snake, and Deborah S. Craig as Pig.
Discussing their characterizations, Hui told “Mistral the Dragon is the insightful and caring big sister to the other Zodiacs. Sidney the Rat can always come up with something inappropriate but hilarious to say. Naomi the Monkey is cheerful, energetic, and can perform unbelievable magic. The Rooster is loud and constantly looking for opportunities to be in charge.”
The Tiger’s Apprentice is based on Laurence Yep’s novel of the same name. While directed by Hui, the film is co-directed by Paul Watling and Yong Duk Jhun, with a script by David Magee and Christopher Yost.
